Being what some may call a “career student”, I know all about insurance policies. Us students aren’t trusted at all, as you know! We need insurance just to boil the kettle, or to make some pasta. But seriously, I do think it’s a joke.
Things like horse insurance and car insurance I can understand. These things make sense. But pasta sauce insurance? Surely there can’t be many bad situations which have occurred from pasta being overcooked.
Of course, we don’t help ourselves. Us students have a long track-record of burning things, ruining things and very much messing things up. So what’s the answer to this grave problem? Well, I know I am doing my bit:
It’d be like what happened when that novel Fight Club came out and loads of fight clubs started springing up all over…
So I was sat around moaning again to my flatmates about how I still couldn’t believe I was going to be in education for like forever! And I was feeling sorry for myself that I had no money because my school and study hours were so hectic that I couldn’t get hired, not even for a part time job, which sucks as I need money. Every student needs money and I was fed up of feeling like the only one without any. That is when I came up with a great idea…
Most people who decide to take up running as a fitness regime, head for the nearest running circuit, neighborhood parks, pavements or may be a treadmill. Other runners take up weight training to hone up those muscles and build strength. Seldom do they willingly head for the nearest hill.
Well recent I did and boy was I surprised as to how hard it was for me and I was only going about two miles. I had to spot many times More
Being a student, you learn how to make a little money go a long, long way; or you do if you’re me, for example, in which case you scrimp and save and create ingenious solutions to problems that have vexed society for the last million years. Since you have nothing – or almost nothing – it’s easy to be frugal and to find the cheapest and most suitable options available. Or at least that used to be the way it was. Much as people talk about students being poor, the reality is that for many students, things couldn’t be easier and more comfortable. In fact, some students are doing far better than people twice their age – especially seeing as they may never have to pay that money back (if they don’t earn enough to be forced to).
Watching TV the other day – I admit it: I was waiting for 4×4 cars to come on, tearing through the mud, and I came across a documentary instead – I found myself watching a reality show about students and how they go about their day-to-day lives. It looked at 4 students who were total money-spending-nightmares and attempted to show them how they could be more frugal and thus not have such a big debt to pay back. I was appalled to see that the documentary only half worked as intended. Although the money-saving expert who presented the show managed to get 2 of the students to change their bad habits, he had little success with the other 2. And you know what? Well, I shall tell you: it really sickened me! It made me wonder if this was representative of every student in the country, and to what extent these problems affect us.
The country has developed these youngsters, and maybe if someone had said something sooner then things would have changed
To my mind, it isn’t enough to just ask the students to spend money. These people need real-world examples of how failing to heed this good advice will impinge on their future lives to come. Until that happens students everywhere will think that spending way beyond their budget is nothing too worry about.
Of course, it isn’t all the students'fault. The country has developed these youngsters, and maybe if someone had said something sooner then things would have changed. The fact that we now have an uphill battle on our hands is proof that something has gone very wrong in the last few years. Where it will end, none of us can really know.
My mate Darren who I am currently studying with has started losing his hair. He’s only nineteen and it’s kind of getting him down somewhat, which is understandable, you don’t really want to start thinking about getting a hair transplant before the age of twenty.
Baldness could affect any of us at some point in our lives and some of us just have to accept it as an inevitable evil of getting old. Until it happens to us there’s no More
I was brought up in a household where earning money was never considered a big deal. Doing some chores for the neighbors and supplementing one’s pocket money was considered a good thing. Of course, I never got lavish praise for it either. My parents felt that dignity of labour was too basic a thing to be fussed about.
However, earning pocket money during the summer vacations by doing odd jobs around the house is not the same as earning serious More
School…when names of things to have a go at are being dished out, this one is always in the top ten of any person who has ever lived. And it’s not hard to see why: you spend your entire childhood there, and then, just as you think you are safe, you get even MORE pressure to do more school stuff. Oh, they dress it up as “uni” but we all know what that means! More flippin'school!
So I share a room with my friend and classmate John, and one night as I was trying to get apple mac repair London and studying I heard him breathing in a funny way. The next morning I told him what I heard and suggested that he visit his doctor. When came back from the doctor later that day he told me his doctor believed that he had Hypopnea.
Hypopnea or shallow breathing while sleeping is a problem which we More
People love jumping on the “all students do is have fun and I hate them I hate them I HATE THEM for the fun they are having and I am not” bandwagon. I can’t understand why they would do, but come on people, give us a break: we are paying for it. The way I see it, for the money that we pay the system every year we should be able to do whatever we want. As long as we More
Back in the day, my Uncle Rodney was a kind of roaming advisor for Scottish Water. He’d drive around checking that Scottish Water’s water wasn’t poisoning anyone, and check up on anyone who thought it might be. The majority of the complaints came from people who said that the water tasted funny. “Not our problem,” he’d say, “unfortunately that’s because the pipes in this area are about 300 years old.”
And he wasn’t joking. The pipes were really, really old.
